Summary
Geographic routing in mobile ad hoc network (MANET) has gained much attention even though it fails to find a route when a node meets a void zone (hole). Therefore, an efficient approach is required to avoid the void issues and to effectively transfer the data packets if a path is available between the source and destination nodes. For such, a hybrid evolutionary algorithm is introduced with geographical routing protocol (GRP) for avoiding the void, which selects the shortest route for routing from the source to the destination by combining firefly (FF) algorithm and galactic swarm optimization (HFFGSO). This proposed algorithm exploits the strengths of both the FF algorithm and galactic swarm mechanisms. In this paper, the cross‐layer design approach is implemented, which contains data link and network layer. The proposed hybrid FFGSO‐GRP algorithm improves the routing process within these layers. The implementation process for this proposed technique is carried out in NS2 simulator. From the simulation results, it is observed that our hybrid protocol when compared with the existing approaches proves its significance in terms of packet delivery ratio (PDR), delay, throughput, energy efficiency, power consumption, routing overhead and hop count.
Most of the sensor nodes in a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) have limited energy. In order to increase the network lifetime, some energy efficient algorithms were proposed earlier. It has been a challenge to design wireless sensor networks to enable applications for oceanographic data collection, pollution monitoring, offshore exploration, disaster prevention, assisted navigation and tactical surveillance applications. The main objective of this work is to find out the data routing method such that the battery life of sensor nodes can be prolonged. In this paper, A Two Cluster Head Energy efficient Wireless Sensor Network (TCHE-WSN) Algorithm was put forward. WSN consists of sensor nodes which sense the physical parameters such as temperature, humidity, pressure and light etc and send them to a fusion center namely Base Station (BS) from where one can get the value of physical parameters at any time. Requirement of monitoring the environment might be anywhere, like middle of the sea or under the earth where man cannot go often to recharge the batteries which supplies the sensing device, transceiver and memory unit in the sensor node. So the usage of the battery power must be judicious in WSN. The present study demonstrates the data routing method from node to BS (Base Station) using two cluster heads to prolong the battery life of sensor nodes. The two cluster head analogy reduces the overhead of single cluster head, avoids packet collision, and improves reliable data transmission with little compromise in energy consumption and hop count compare to single cluster head method.
Cloud computing is a significant platform emerging for IT enterprises, business applications, and mobile computing. It is a dynamic environment where efficiently and properly allocating resources in such an environment becomes a tedious task. Most existing approaches cannot guarantee energy-efficient resource management due to the existence of time-dependent tasks. Cloud resources consume a huge amount of energy, which may reduce the Makespan of the entire network. The process of appropriate task scheduling may satisfy the user's requirement. Reducing energy consumption by satisfying the user's QoS requirements is essential to ensure each user's service level agreement (SLA). Therefore, to achieve an energy-efficient and unique task scheduling, a technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) based unique ranking (uRank-TOPSIS) and a Hybrid state-action-reward-state-action (SARSA), Reinforcement Learning with Black widow Algorithm (HSRLBA) are proposed in this paper. Here, the task scheduling process is carried out using the uRank-TOPSIS process by producing a set of unique weights and ranking the alternatives. Also, HSRLBA is used to perform resource allocation, which uses the Black widow Algorithm (BWA) to rapidly converge parallel agents in the SARSA model of RL. The Cloudsim simulator is used for experiments. The efficiency of the proposed framework is measured in terms of Makespan, Task Completion Ratio (TCR), total energy consumption, response time and resource utilization. The proposed uRank-TOPSIS and HSRLBA achieved an energy consumption of 325 KWh, response time of 15.42 s, Makespan of the 1150 s, TCR of 98% and resource utilization of 92%. The proposed framework maximizes TCR and resource utilization and minimizes the Makespan, energy consumption, and response time.
